Yates Potting Mix with Dynamic Lifter
A high quality all purpose organic-based potting mix suitable for most indoor and outdoor potted plants.
Many gardeners tend to shudder when you mention oxalis, mostly due to the fact that it is one of the harder weeds to control in the garden. But, did you know that there is one variety that is so coveted by plant enthusiasts it is on the most wanted indoor plant list? This highly sought after plant is more commonly known as the Purple Shamrock (Oxalis triangularis) and with its strikingly dark burgundy leaves and white flowers who wouldn’t want to have it in their hot little hands! For beginner enthusiasts the Purple Shamrock is a great start into the plant world. Similar to their weedy relatives, these plants require minimal care making them a perfect prized possession for your indoor or outdoor jungles.
Purple Shamrocks can be easily propagated through division. It is best done when the plant is dormant in the cooler months to avoid shock.
Take care when handling all parts of the plants as it is considered to be poisonous. Ensure that it is kept away from pets and young children.
Water less frequently in winter, when the plant is growing in low light, or has become dormant. Once the weather or conditions pick up, the shamrocks are known to shoot back after a short recharge.
Do not over water them as they don’t like wet feet.
Purple Shamrocks will grow very happily in smaller pots. Try not to plant them out in oversized or large pots as they do not have a huge root zone.
If your shamrock is a bit dull, provide it with some morning light to help intensify the colour of the leaves.
